On the Rat Race...

The one that some of us fight every day in office, gunning for that next raise, that next promotion etc... i wrote myself this prescription some years ago.. it seems to have cured at least one person :-)

We jumpfrom emptiness to emptiness

All the timebelievingthat we cross milestoneswhile it isjustanother boulder reallyIn a sea of boulders

But what if you know where you want to go? Would the boulder be a milestone then?*frets*Hopefully when I get there I'll know where to go next. Isn't that what life is all about - a journey from one place to another?

Hi Wriju: *confused*.. i really don't know what to say to that.. i only read this piece in the context of the rat race.. not in the context of the Destinations that I have set for myself..guess there is a difference then.. between mistaking boulders for milestones, and knowing your personal destinations and milestones... *even more confused*

thanks... u understood me much better than the others. i wasn't pitying myself or pitying them..i was just stating a fact..they come bcos i understand where they're coming from...i come from the very same place..

HI Garcia: No, office life in itself is nothing.. its the rat race thats monotonous. What values does a twice an expensive car add to me??

Hi Wild Reeds: Maybe..but is there really no other alternative.. to be crushed or to jump? How about picking your own direction, where you want to go, and pick your pace.. how about deciding your journey? :-)
